Angry whites in the South during this period of time would go to any measure to satisfy their hate for an individual of a different race. Rosaleen really changes during this trial; she becomes bitter towards whites, even towards Lily, whom she is close to. Continuing on page 52 Rosaleen learns about the black Madonna. “If Jesus’ mother is black, how come we only know about the white Mary?” The quote is what Rosaleen was thinking when she saw the picture Lily had found in her mother’s items. This is not just a picture of a black version of Mary; it is a picture of the African American’s gaining their rightful freedoms in 1964.

Some may forget that they are people just like everyone else and that they face many of the same issues that all do in their personal lives. D.H. Lawrence portrays a lonely man with a thoroughly contradictory personality in the character of Dr. Jack Fergusson in “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter.” From the moment we are introduced to Dr. Jack Fergusson, we find that he is zealous about his role as the town’s doctor. He admits that he has an awful cold, and yet he is on his way to begin his workday. When asked “Why don’t you stop in?,” he replies, “Me stop in? When I can’t stand on my legs, perhaps I shall have a chance” (740).
Along the way however, the way in which the characters lived changed as well. During Kracha’s time, money struggles dominated his life. During his efforts to obtain stability, he worked on the railroad, then moved to the steel mills, where years later, proceeded to open and own a butcher shop, then finally ended up back at the mills. His interests were not in updating and owning a home; rather, they lied in drinking, cheating on his dying wife and leaving three children on the backburner. Mike, however, was committed to his family and did not like the idea of keeping boarders to obtain more money for he didn’t want his wife, Mary, to overexert herself.
This was due to the policy of McCarthyism. Southern racists were among the most ardent anticommunists and tried their best to discredit the African-Americans with this theory. For example, this was evident in the late 1940’s when this principle lead to witch hunts where radical right wing opponents of Communism would regularly discriminate black people and used violence against them. This point supports the line of argument that there was little change between 1945-55 because of the huge influx of racial prejudice due to

When Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was first published in 1960, it was instantly a success. The story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama, a very racist community. It is told from six-year-old Jean Louise “Scout” Finch’s point of view. Through her young, innocent eyes she sees the effects racism has on everyone in the town, whether they are black or white. Everybody in Maycomb county is affected by racism in one way or another; however there are three people who are particularly affected by it.
The Daddy is always active as the describe the mom as standing there I feel that because the father doesn’t play the stereotypical father role this makes the mother to assume more guilt in the story. Instead of the mom cuddling the child the author wrote “Mommy over his shoulder invoking God until he sent her for towels and gauze if they had it, the Daddy moving quickly and well and his man's mind empty of everything but purpose”. Is this because of her character or the fact that most people don’t know what to do in the situation of a trauma, even if it is their own
Thus, Lydia’s lack of propriety and good judgment is a reflection of Mrs. Bennet’s inability to sufficiently fulfill her role as an effective mother. Mrs. Bennet is consumed by the desire to see her daughters get married, and as a result, she neglects to care for anything else concerning her children. For example, her reaction to Lydia’s elopement with Wickham exemplifies not only Mrs. Bennet’s stupidity, but also the great extent to which she proves incapable of holding the family together in a moment of crisis despite being a wife and mother of five. She “…blaming[es] every body but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the errors of her daughter must be principally owing” (192), which is clearly herself. Instead of acting in a mature manner like an adult, she becomes hysterical and exaggerates, “...now here’s Mr. Bennet gone away, and I know he will fight Wickham, wherever he meets him, and then he will be killed, and what is to become of us all?” (192).
